So I was boring and just ordered a club sandwich which was fine but I got a side of vegetables instead of fries and had the bartender pick for me she got me the broccoli was freaking amazing! Like I should have just ordered a huge plate of it. I don't even really like broccoli all that much but in any case it was the highlight of my day which I suppose is actually pretty sad. Service was good, efficient and timely both from the bartender and the food runner. It appears to be a well run establishment.

The restaurant was upscale and very clean. Our server (Emily?) may be the best server I’ve ever had. Super fast with drinks and ver knowledgeable. As for the food. One person got the steak burger and it was great. I got the filet mignon skewers. They could pass as good sirloin. It was not the best but ok. I would definitely go back to try other item menus.

J. Alexander's has it all going on . . . great food, outstanding service and a romantic/relaxing atmosphere. I recommend making a reservation; they are always packed. The drinks are terrific.

We went to the oak Brook location and the birthday party was in North Brook and we all were late the place closed at 9pm because they knew what had happened they let us stay until 1030 or 11 I don't know they didn't rush out and I appreciate the staff for that THANK YOU!!!!!

Called in for take out, rude. The best is that on carry out orders they charge a 6% packaging fee. No mention of it, just a random add on and then they want a tip.
Never again. Food is blah and menu has not changed in many years.

Had an amazing dinner here on Saturday. We celebrated a birthday and boy did service go above and beyond. Food was amazing everyone enjoyed their blue cheese crusted ribeye or prime rib as well We had the pleasure of having Jody as our server. She went above and beyond to make the evening spectacular. We will be back and can’t wait to have her again. Thank you J Alexander’s for making this a special night

I went to J. Alexander's with a group of seven on the middle of the week.

The short review is that the restaurant was clean, well maintained, they started us quickly, and the food was awesome. It was a little loud, but not too bad. I would recommend J. Alexander's if you are in the area. Read on if you want more details.

Apon entering the restaurant I was impressed with the decor. It was very nice and clean. We had a reservation ave arrived relatively early. Even though we were early they were able to seat our group right away. It was a little loud at out table but not overwhelming. Most of us got the special, which was the Filet Mignon Medallions with a salad. The special came with Smashed Potatoes and broccoli. I requested to swap out the potatoes for the Macaroni and Cheese. The salad came first and it was excellent. The croutons were the best. When my dinner came it had the Macaroni and Cheese and the Smashed Potatoes. I took this as a sign that I needed to try the potatoes. I was right the Smashed Potatoes and the Macaroni and Cheese were great. The steak was done just right and tasted great. I would recommend trying J. Alexander's if you are in the area.

Never have had a good experience with customer service here. Carryout is late and they charge a non-optional 6% fee for picking up. Rude staff, expensive food. Can’t recommend.

Being from the area, have been here a handful of times. Food is absolutely delicious and the vibe of the restaurant is warm and inviting but still has a touch of elegance and sophistication. However, my most recent visit with my friend was STELLAR thanks to our server Nick. Nick was attentive and got us everything before we even knew we needed it. He deserves a huge shoutout and the next time you go in, ask for him.

I didn't know you could mess up baked potato and trout but I guess you can. Won't be back for more disappointment.
